MRS. EMMONS TIRED OUT.

MRS. EMIONS TIRED OUT.
Her Story Continued in Court To-day.
CONCERNING HER ADVENTURES ON THE OCEAN
STEAMER AND IN LoNDoN-HER RETURN TO THIS
CITY.
There was the same pressure for admission at
the door of the old Circuit Court room this morn
Ing but when the chairs and space behind the
ratings had been filled the marshal's oficers
closed the doors. The crowd, as usual Of late was
composed chiefly OF women This was due partly
to the fact that women come in greater numbers
than men to the court room, and when the doors
are first opened the dOorkeepers gave preference
to the women.
MRS. EMMoNs TIRED OUT.
When Mrs. EmmOnS went upon the stand she
removed her hat and at once resumed her story.
she seemed somewhat weary after her three days
examination, and talked in languid manner.
She said in reference to her trip to Atlantic City
last fall that Mrs. DeCormS did not go with her
to Atlantic City, but she put her construction on
what was afterward told her. In reference to the
ride in the woods with Mrs. DeCormiS when Mis-.
De Cormis, said the witness, said
THE TREES WERE TALKING WITH HER.
Mrs. Emmons described a ride in the woods and
stopping to enjoy the woodland scenery. The
trees were rustling she said, and that is the way
they were talking. Mrs. DeCormis, she said, was
said, "about the God OF the wind and Phaeton and
so on. Well, she didn't understand it and she
thought was crazy. Learned that all in mythol-
ogy."
Speaking of her papers which disappeared
when she went to Bloomingdale she said Mi;
before she was put into the asylum. When she
gave up his letters to that woman, she went on,
she did not keep one back. Mr.. Emmons, she re-
peated, told me he had destroyed them. Mr.. En-
mons here having shaken his head Mrs. EmmOnS
turned On him and said:
